What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 November 2023

Pupils feel truly cared for in this highly inclusive school. There is a strong sense of community. Everyone helps each other to live the school motto and, 'Be the best they can be'. Staff notice and celebrate pupils' unique talents and qualities. Expectations are high and pupils achieve well. The school's values permeate all areas of school life. The values drive the school rules, which are clear and fair. Staff are kind to pupils and act on what they say. This kindness reflects in the way pupils behave in class and towards one another. Pupils value the extensive opportunities they receive at the school. They are all encouraged to take on leadership roles. These include being peer mediators on the playground and school council members. This helps pupils show initiative and make decisions for themselves, while also considering other people's views. Staff celebrate pupils' achievements in many distinct aspects of school life. These include sports competitions and projects about how to succeed in business.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, assessment is not used effectively to identify and close gaps in pupils' learning. Consequently, not all pupils remember the important knowledge that they need to be ready for the next stage in their learning. The school needs to ensure that teachers in all subjects use information about what pupils remember over time to adapt future teaching.
